Collaboration among laboratories

The R&D structure at the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories consists of three corporate laboratories and one divisional laboratory. In addition, fundamental technology research centers, such as the Analysis Technology Center, support the four laboratories and there are multiple project teams.
The three corporate laboratories are the Frontier Core-Technology Laboratories, which conducts long-term research into advanced technologies for further growth; the Synthetic Organic Chemistry Laboratories, which engages in R&D of highly functional organic materials in various fields; and the Advanced Marking Research Laboratories, which conducts R&D into inkjet and other new marking technologies. The Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Research Laboratories is a divisional laboratory, where a diverse array of technologies used in pharmacology, biochemistry, organic synthesis, analysis, and NANO FOCUS(*1) along with researchers in such fields, who were formerly located separately, are brought together to better search for original drug candidates and develop core technologies and products related to medical and healthcare areas.
Designed and organized under the open laboratory concept, the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories actively promotes collaboration among the laboratories as well as with all Group companies, such as Fuji Xerox and Toyama Chemical, and with external research institutes and universities.

(*1) FTD technology: Fujifilm's proprietary technology nurtured in the development of photographic film and other products. It involves formulating desired chemicals and delivering them to targeted sites in appropriate levels and at appropriate times by means of emulsification, dispersion, nanoparticles, nanocapsule formation and porous & multilayer thin films, etc.
